Freshman Assistive Technology Design Project

Each year, UTC partners with several different educational agencies to identify projects
for students to serve by designing and building assistive technologies for physically
challenged children.

The Freshman Design projects are completed in one semester. UTC students meet with
the project advisors at the partnering organization, the students' schools, or the
child's home in order to fully understand the client's needs. Most of the projects
are completed and delivered to the children and families for their use. Projects are
beta tested prior to final delivery. In some situations the projects take longer than
projected to complete or need additional work prior to delivery. Accommodations are
made to ensure that each client gets served.

Help us build a much-needed endowment for this program starting at $25,000 to ensure
that the funding continues as this program is currently dependent on state funding.
Your pledge can be extended over a three to five year period.
